41,462,920,503 in the crypto world with a principal of 100,000. Some people make millions by lying down with spot trading, while others lose everything overnight with contracts—where does the gap lie?
If you're still struggling to decide whether to play with spot or contracts in the crypto world, let me tell you two real stories:
Story 1: Old Zhang, the 'Zen Warrior' of the crypto world, only plays spot trading, specifically picking large coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum. When prices drop, he stocks up; when they rise, he sells.
In 3 years, he turned a principal of 50,000 into 2 million, with the secret being: 'When it drops, treat it as saving money; when it rises, treat it as cashing out; never touch contracts!'
Story 2: Little Li, the 'Short-term Genius' of contracts, started with 10x leverage and has candlestick charts etched in his mind. His highest record: turned a principal of 3,000 into 200,000 in a week, but liquidations were as common as meals; in the end, his account went to zero in just 3 days. His conclusion: 'Contracts are a money printer and a money shredder, it all depends on your speed and mindset!'

The question arises: If you only have 10,000, which path can help you turn it around faster?
Spot vs. Contracts, the harsh truth revealed
Spot Traders: 'Steady as an old dog, but getting rich relies on luck'
Advantages: Low risk of going to zero (unless you specifically buy meme coins), suitable for long-term investments
Fatal Flaw: Small principal means slow doubling; to turn 10,000 into 20,000, you have to wait for a bull market
Suitable Audience: Patient players, believers in 'holding coins'
Contract Traders: 'One thought leads to heaven, another to hell'
Advantages: Small capital can leverage big profits; 10x leverage means a 10% increase = doubling the principal
Harsh Reality: 90% of people don't survive beyond 3 months; liquidations are the norm
Suitable Audience: Extremely disciplined, can handle instant account zeroing
'Why do we say that skilled contract traders who can achieve stable profits are scarier than spot traders?'
—Because contracts are precision scalpels under high pressure! In the same market conditions:
Spot players earn 10%, while contract experts might earn 100%
'The fiercest players often walk on two legs—how do true experts play? Holding a base in spot + trading waves with contracts!
Finally, here’s a question:
If you currently have 100,000,
Choose spot: you might turn it into 500,000 in 3 years
Choose contracts: you might turn it into 1,000,000 in 3 months… or lose it all
What would you choose?
There are no saviors in the crypto world, only legends who survive. 83,026,916,336
